RF Owners: What are the pros/cons?
As the title says, I'm interested in hearing about the advantages/disadvantages of the RF vs the ST. I believe the RF is outselling the ST significantly, so it appears to have a broader appeal.
I tried to collate all the pros/cons I know about thus far, and was wondering if there's anything I'm missing on either side:
Pros | Cons |
---|---|
Quieter with the roof up | Louder with the roof down (wind noise) |
No risk of top being slashed | More complex and slower roof operation |
Closer to 50/50 weight distribution | Higher total weight |
More composed/improved stock suspension | Slower overall due to higher weight |
Better steering rack (better self-centering and weight) | Higher price |
Better insulation from the elements | Worse (top down) visibility |
Stiffer chassis with the roof up | Less incentive to drive with the top down |
Note the pros/cons are not meant to correlate perfectly, they are independent lists but I attempted to line up pros/cons that obviously went hand in hand.
Thanks,
